      New Orleans, LA 🎺

      22 listopada 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Maintenant que mes partiels sont terminés, je peux vous partager les photos du séjour à la Nouvelle-Orléans 🎺

      Durant la semaine de Thanksgiving 🦃 j’ai reçu la visite de Maman et Grégoire pour une dizaine de jours ! Après leur séjour à Miami, ils m’ont rejoint à Atlanta pour que je leur fasse découvrir ma vie de campus américain puis nous somme partis en Lousiane ensemble pendant 5 jours ! 🐊

      Nous étions logés en plein cœur de la ville, tout près du French Quarter, et à 5min du Mississipi ! 🇫🇷
      Le premier jour, après un super brunch dans une institution de la ville appelée « Ruby Slipper Café » ☕️ nous avons fait une visite guidée du fameux quartier français. Et coup de chance, c’était une visite privée puisque nous étions les seules personnes à avoir réservé ce créneau avec notre guide. Après ce petit tour, nous nous sommes baladés sur les rives du Mississipi pour voir les célèbres bateaux à roues à aubes 🌉

      Le lendemain, nous avons pris les fameux tramways rouges tout en boiseries pour aller visiter le « Garden District », un quartier colonial un peu excentré avec de magnifiques maisons, puis nous sommes rentrés à pied vers le French Quarter 🏡 Ce jeudi était d’ailleurs le 4ème jeudi du mois de novembre, soit la date officielle de Thanksgiving aux États-Unis ! Nous avons donc assisté sur l’artère principale au défilé de toutes les écoles des alentours, avec fanfares et pom-pom girls 📣 Le soir nous avons ensuite dîné au Tableau, un restaurant de référence à la Nouvelle Orléans, où j’ai pu retrouver le plaisir de bien manger et bien boire : un réel plaisir 🤩

      Le lendemain, nous avons visité une fabrique de whisky : la fabrique Sazerac, qui a d’ailleurs inspiré le cocktail du même nom, très consommé en Lousiane 🥃

      Enfin, nous avons conclu ce beau séjour par un tour en bateau dans les bayous et la visite d’une propriété de cultivateurs de coton dans son état d’origine : un vrai bond dans le temps ! 🕰️

      Bref, une super coupure avant mes partiels, et plein de beaux souvenirs 😍       Czytaj więcej

      Music

      18 kwietnia, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      So the main point of this trip was music. With my two new buddies Karen and Jess from Bristol, after eating in Hard Rock Cafe we hit Bourbon Street. The guide told us to go into any bar we liked the music coming out. She also recommended specific New Orleans cocktails. After an afternoon in the art museum I felt cocktails were deserved. Hey we heard some amazing music this video is just a poor example. Czytaj więcej

      Bourbon Street

      19 sierpnia, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌙 31 °C

      After arriving and checking in to New Orleans I thought I'd take a quick wander down the nearby Bourbon Street, one of the most famous streets for nightlife in all of the US! It was fair quiet as it was pre 9pm on a Monday but there were dozens of jazz bars, piano bars, rock bars and clubs too. Czytaj więcej

      Walkin' through N'Awlins

      13 stycznia 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      We stepped into our first Mardi Gras parade less than two hours after landing at Louis Armstrong New Orleans airport! We literally walked out of our hotel door and into the middle of the stiltwalkers, butterflies, walking dead .... and police cars with flashing blue and red lights. For a moment, I wondered if there'd been a murder (Mark's words about our area "being dodgy" ringing in my ears). But no, it was time to party.

      So, slightly disoriented, we headed off in the wrong direction and had to backtrack to Oceana Restaurant to catch up with James. He was patiently waiting in the queue on the cold, windy street to get a table for us ... at peak hour on the Friday night of a long weekend! It was worth waiting for though. The place was bursting at the seams and buzzing with energy and all the N'Awlins atmosphere I had imagined.

      I ordered the famous crawfish étouffée, Phil had the BBQ prawns, and James had the gumbo and a New Orleans tasting plate. But the food took second place to catching up on the last year years and planning the next few days. Even though we'd finished off with vanilla ice-cream smothered in delicious, rum-caramel sauce, and drunk the first decent coffee in days, and paid the bill, and figuratively fought off all the people queuing for our table, we were still talking when the long week started catching up with Phil. So we adjourned to our deluxe room and talked some more!

      However, we don't have the stamina of Kiki and Craig. The party they hosted in their suite last night kept them up till 2.30am this morning! We travelled across the continent with them (the long flights giving them time to get 40 winks) and shared a taxi into the city. Katrina was front of mind as we drove over bridge after bridge across the swampy, low-lying suburbs. And it was a sobering moment when we drove past Caesars Superdome - the "shelter of last resort" for those who couldn't evacuate during the hurricane ... so hard to believe it was over 17 years ago.

      I knew I was in New Orleans when I overheard the flight attendants making plans as I disembarked, "What's the time?", "Almost 4.30" "Good, let's go have coffee and beignets then".       Czytaj więcej

      There is a house (or two) in New Orleans

      16 stycznia 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      I'm not sure the streetcar was called "Desire, " but it was standing room only to get to the Garden District - home to centuries-old, live oak avenues and mansions of the rich & famous such as Sandra Bullock and Beyoncé. It's also been the setting for many iconic movies, including the aforementioned Streetcar, and Easy Rider.

      We found Philip['s] Street with one or two antebellum places he could move into, and after checking them out, we'd walked up a thirst which required quenching at The Chicory House. This was our second coffee stop of the day. The French Truck was our first, and of course, we had to sample the almond croissants... very nice!

      There was evidence of where the water level had been during Katrina on some exteriors of the houses - it looked like it was around 3 metres deep. And although the homes and gardens were spectacular, the roads and sidewalks were in poor condition - it would be easy to sprain or break an ankle. The combination of tree roots, building over old canals, and the damage from stormwater, can make pavement walking like intrepid rock climbing.

      After lunch, and the best salted caramel ice cream ever, we ubered with Michael - the retired chef - to City Park, asking for the best meal recommendations on the way.

      We spent a few leisurely hours photographing the c800 year old, Spanish Moss clad oaks that would have been there in the plantation days, checking the bayou for lurking alligators, listening to the Pink Panther theme, La vie en rose, Orsini, and Stevie Wonder played on the saxophone to all-ears boys, whilst we watched Linda, the bubble lady, making magic for the excited kids.

      Sadly, James flies back home in the morning, so it was an early night for all - ready for more adventures tomorrow. Huge thanks to James for showing us the very best of New Orleans and driving us halfway across Mississippi. Not to mention all the interesting conversations and insights. It was really special reconnecting and heaps of fun reminiscing about the good old days 😁       Czytaj więcej

      All that Jazz

      14 stycznia 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      The highlight of the day for me was sitting in The Spotted Cat Music Club, catnip* in hand, listening to Macumba playing Brasilian jazz with rhythm and passion on clarinet, bass and piano accordion. I was in my happy place.

      It capped off a morning of rambling through the picturesque streets of pastel-painted French style houses, shaded by oaks, palms and wrought-iron trellises. Every house was a photo op, and the camera just enhanced the azure blue background of sky.

      We'd started with breakfast in the dining room adjacent to the courtyard - still a bit nippy to brave the open air, and James joined us whilst we ate, making plans over coffee and toast. We meandered our way to Jackson Square via the praline shop, the Sox shop, and the hot sauce shop.

      Of course, we bumped into Ron and Deb in the Square and learned that Ron's suitcase was AWOL! And after checking out the mighty Mississippi and watching Dave and Robyn's paddleboat sail upriver, we stopped at the French market for oysters in the half shell. They were very tasty, but we'll below Bluff raw oyster status. We'll have to check again tomorrow to see if N'awlins can do better!

      Appetites whetted we ambled through the Frenchmen Street neighbourhood and found the Croissant door café selling heated Swiss cheese, ham & tomato baguettes, and very drinkable coffee. It was a good way to fill in time until the music began.

      And later for dinner, we ubered with Linda across town to the Magazine Street restaurants, expecting that they wouldn't be as crowded and over-subscribed as those in the French Quarter. We were wrong. We found an outside table in the little French restaurant Lilette. The food was delicious - I had sizzling shrimps (king prawns) and roasted duck breast, which were both beautifully prepared and full of flavour. We would have liked to sample the very tempting dessert menu, but we were getting colder and colder.

      It was back to the hotel to warm up and plan tomorrow's adventures.

      * catnip = mango vodka, orange liquer, cranberry & pineapple juice = very yummy!!       Czytaj więcej

      Tag 11 New Orleans der Wahnsinn

      23 maja 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      New Orleans ist eine Stadt in Louisiana, die unweit des Golfs von Mexiko am Mississippi liegt. Die Stadt ist bekannt für ihr pulsierendes Nachtleben, die dynamische Musikszene und die einzigartige pikante Küche, in der sich kulinarische Einflüsse aus der französischen, afrikanischen und amerikanischen Kultur verbinden.
      Das French Quarter ist das historische Zentrum der Stadt. Bekannt ist das Viertel vor allem für sein pulsierendes Nachtleben und die bunten Häuser mit gusseisernen Balkonen. Die Bourbon Street mit ihren Jazzclubs, Cajun-Restaurants und lauten Bars mit starken Cocktails ist ein beliebtes Ausgehziel. Etwas ruhigere Straßen findet man um den French Market, auf dem Feinkost und Kunsthandwerk aus der Region verkauft werden, sowie um den Jackson Square vor der hoch aufragenden St. Louis Cathedral. Dort sieht man häufig Straßenkünstler.
      Beim ersten Spaziergang über die Bourbenstreet weiß man gar nicht wo man zu erst hinschaut!
      Überall tolle Fassaden und Balkone, kleine Pub‘s und jede Menge gutgelaunte Menschen!
      Wir hatten jedenfalls mächtig viel Spaß!       Czytaj więcej

      New Orleans French Quarter

      27 marca 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

      Zu Fuss waren wir heute im French Quarter unterwegs. Wetter war bewölkt und zeitweise regnete es auch sehr stark. Das hat uns aber nicht davon abgehalten, der berühmten Burbon Street ins FQ zu folgen. Jackson Square und Armstrong Park waren ebenfalls Ziel unserer Besichtigungstour.
      Die Stadt gefällt uns sehr gut, die Menschen sind sehr relaxt, freundlich und überall ist Jazzmusik zu hören.       Czytaj więcej
